"If you are looking for a psychologist your most pressing need is probably relief from psychological discomfort or pain. My initial focus is to help you understand what you are dealing with, what contributes to it and how to address it in a way that leads to feeling better and making lasting emotional change.

"Do you find yourself playing out the same self sabotaging patterns and feel frustrated to break them? Do you have trouble in your relationships, wanting connection yet feeling lonely? Do you resort to drugs and alcohol and it's becoming a problem? Does it feel like parts of you are in conflict and out of your control? If you could figure it out logically you would have already. These patterns may feel mysterious to you but what if these parts of yourself have good intentions and are just stuck trying to help you. In therapy we can break these painful patterns by healing the underlying issues and giving you freedom and peace inside."
